New in Symfony 5.3: Notifier Integrations

The Notifier component was introduced in Symfony 5.2 as the best way to send notifications via one or more channels (email, SMS, chats, etc.) The component is already integrated with dozens of services, but in Symfony 5.3 we’ve added many more integrations:

Chatting services

SMS services

Other

We’ve also added some fake SMS and chat services so you can use them to debug features while developing them:

How to install Wine on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)

What is Wine?
Wine (originally an acronym for “Wine Is Not an Emulator”) is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, & BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop.

Docker for Symfony is 1 year old!

The first birthday of the open source project “Docker for Symfony” aka D4D.LT was on December 16, 2019. The future of this project was unknown. However, after 3 months work some companies have provided us with testing server (Hostinger) and programming tools (JetBrains). The open source project “Docker for Symfony” is constantly being improved and new features are being introduced.

A few of them:
1. We improved environment file configuration. Some settings can be controlled using bash script.
2. Support all available Symfony framework versions: 2.x, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x.
3. Support another possible frameworks, e.g. CodeIgniter (CI), CakePHP, Laravel (not tested yet).
4. NodeJS version selection.
